A Simply Terrific Key Ring
Hundreds have asked for it ( 14 Customer Reviews )

This story starts a few decades ago when our President was given a gift of a unique Key Ring which had two "stirrup" shaped holders connected by a short link chain. He put it to immediate use and has used it constantly ever since. Some years ago, it was put to use as a prop in one of our knife photos – and then the calls started coming in: "Do you carry that for your customers?" The answer, unfortunately, had to be "no."

But a chance meeting about 6 months ago with the famous Danforth Pewter Co in Vermont began a project to get it remade. Here is the result. Two months of field testing "in the pocket" have proved it a great success. Many Garrett Wade staff have already put in their orders. Now you can too. It's a great design, executed in a handsome, historic material and a fantastic value as a really special and useful gift.

A memo on use doesn't change the fact that the casting is of such poor material that this product is impossible to use. I was able to use the keychain for only a few weeks before the threads had been stripped to the point that the keys fall. spreading the yoke doesn't help since the material is too weak to be in a pocket without bending. This type of poor quality product has prevented me from purchasing any other tools from your company.

Disappointed
Reviewed By:	Jim S. (Pittsburgh, PA)
I was excited to try this keychain out, but I have been disappointed from the moment I received it. It is difficult to get to your keys (unlike a round keychain) and you cannot grip the top of your key easily. I keep this keychain in my briefcase 90% of the time, and it still cannot handle being "handled." The screws holding the keys in the stirrups constantly unscrew, and the one on the smaller stirrup fell out and I lost two keys. I am currently looking for a better, more durable and stronger keychain. This one is "cute" but it is a novelty keychain--not suited to regular duty usage. Response By: Garrett Wade Tech Department Dear Jim, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on our Double-Stirrup Key Ring. We are sorry that you are unsatisfied with this Key Ring. Unfortunately at the time you placed your order the new memo regarding proper use was not yet written. We have issued you a full refund for this tool. Garrett Wade

Garrett Wade key ring

The key ring is very well made, but it's very heavy to carry around and doesn't hold enough keys. I need to use it for awhile to make sure it doesn't come apart. The way the key ring closes seems ok but I don't trust it yet. Response By: Garrett Wade Tech Department Dear Jerry, Thank you very much for taking the time to review our Double Stirrup Key Ring. I'm not sure if you received the memo that is included with the key rings so here it is. I believe this will address your concern about the way the key ring closes: The threading on the pins need to have a little pressure on them to stay secure. (This is true of any nut-and-bolt fitting.) Here's what to do. It will only take you a minute or two at the most. Remove all the keys and test each pin by screwing it home. The shoulder of each pin should "bottom out" against the side of the shackle with about one and a half to two full turns of thread remaining. Then as you turn in the final two rotations, the sides of the shackle are forced slightly outward and some "springy" pressure develops in the body of the shackle between its threads and those of the pin. It is this tension (or pressure) that keeps the pin firmly in place so it does not accidentally unwind. If you see that there are less than two full turns remaining after you have done the "test", simply mechanically spread the arms of the shackle slightly with another tool (a pair of pliers may work well) until they are positioned better. You should be able to do this without difficulty. Test again, and you should be fine. Garrett Wade -
